Abstract We introduce decomposition algebras as a natural generalization of axial algebras, Majorana algebras and the Griess algebra. They remedy three limitations of axial algebras: (1) They separate fusion laws from specific values in a field, thereby allowing repetition of eigenvalues; (2) They allow for decompositions that do not arise from multiplication by idempotents; (3) They admit a natural notion of homomorphisms, making them into a nice category. We exploit these facts to strengthen… CONTINUE READING
